Baltimore Ravens Associate Head Coach and Defensive Line Coach Anthony Weaver
In addition to Morris, the Commanders also requested an interview with Baltimore Ravens associate head coach and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver. Although he's yet to be a head coach in the NFL, Weaver brings experience to the table after his time with the Ravens, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets. The Ravens boast a strong defensive line and scheme, which Weaver has put his fingerprints all over.
New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick
There's a lot of speculation that Bill Belichick's time will be up with the New England Patriots is up. We could see Belichick and the Patriots mutually part ways shortly, which would make him available for the Commanders. Belichick is widely regarded as the best head coach in NFL history, and we know what he can do when given the keys to a franchise. With a high draft pick and a potential new franchise quarterback, the Commanders are a good fit for Belichick.
Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Jim Harbaugh
Many continue to wonder whether or not Jim Harbaugh will head back to the NFL after this season at Michigan, and a prime opening would be this position with the Commanders. If the Commanders want to get the attention of the NFL, Harbaugh, and Belichick are the two options that clearly jump off the page. With one of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels at his disposal, the Commander's job has to at least be appealing to Harbaugh.
Washington Commanders Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy
We're still looking for a team to give Eric Bieniemy the full reigns, and the Washington Commanders might be the team to do it. Bieniemy is coming off his first year as the Commander's offensive coordinator. The offensive line remains a concern, but if the Commanders select a franchise quarterback with the second overall pick, Bieniemy would be an ideal fit to break him into the league as he did with Patrick Mahomes.
Los Angeles Rams Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris
The Washington Commanders have requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris. Morris has experience as a head coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has elevated the Rams' defense in 2023. Morris is an interesting candidate when you factor in what the Commanders are currently lacking as a franchise.
